What this means for your family
Rose Mountain Care Center offers strong rehabilitation services and a culturally supportive environment, which many families appreciate. However, the facility has a pattern of serious complaints regarding sanitation and responsiveness. We strongly recommend visiting in person to observe the cleanliness of the rooms and asking management directly about their staffing ratios during weekends and evening shifts.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses and the staff are exceptional! No other medical facility ever in my life even can compete with this facility, ever! The kindness and professionalism is over the top!”
“The whole place smells like urine, the nurses don't care about the patients, and if you ask for assistance to change soiled pants, they push it onto the assistant. Staff/nurses sit around and chat, you ask for assistance, they make sure they finish their yakking then move as slowly as possible to come help.”
“The admitting doctor did not read the hospital discharge papers. Mom was supposed to be in antibiotics for 6 weeks and the doctor at Rose Mountain only order them for 5 days. Mom ended up in the hospital again with a really bad infection.”
